Sweetwater Wins Comparably Best Workplace Awards for Best Company Outlook and Best Sales Teams

Sweetwater, the country's number one eCommerce provider of music instruments and pro audio gear, today announced that it is the recipient of two Comparably Best Workplace Awards for "Best Company Outlook" and "Best Sales Teams." This set of Comparably Awards is derived from sentiment ratings provided by employees who anonymously rated their employers on Comparably.com over the previous 12 months.

The "Best Company Outlook" award is based on sentiment ratings provided by current employees about the confidence felt towards the future success of their company and how likely they are to recommend working there to a friend. The "Best Sales Teams" list is derived from sentiment ratings provided by current employees in sales departments, measuring over 20 different workplace culture categories including compensation, leadership, professional development opportunities, and perks and benefits.

"At Sweetwater, we pride ourselves on empowering our employees to speak openly and honestly about their thoughts on the state of the company and their personal experience here," said Sweetwater Chief People Officer Jeff Ostermann. "We are thrilled to receive both of these awards and know that our employees fully believe in what we are trying to accomplish every single day here at Sweetwater."

Comparably Awards is an annual series launched in late 2017 highlighting the best CEOs and places to work by those who know best – employees. This award is based solely on sentiment feedback provided by current employees who anonymously rate their employers on Comparably.com. Workers answer structured questions spanning 16 different workplace topics, from compensation, perks, and benefits to work-life balance, career growth, and leadership. Each answer is then given a numerical score and compared to companies of similar size. The final data set of winners is compiled from over 15 million ratings across 70,000 companies within a 12-month period.

"We are honored to be named the winner of these two prestigious awards and show just how amazing and powerful the Sweetwater community is," said Sweetwater President Mike Clem. "A special thank you to the entire Sweetwater team who contributes to our mission daily, as winning these awards would not have been possible without each and every one of them "
